Abstract
Multisensory integration is a fundamental form of sensory processing that is involved in many everyday tasks. Those with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) have characteristic alterations to various brain regions that may influence multisensory processing. The overall aim of this work was to assess how adults with ADHD process audiovisual multisensory stimuli during a complex response time task. The paradigm used was a two-alternative forced-choice discrimination task paired with continuous 64-electrode electroencephalography, allowing for the measurement of response time and accuracy to auditory, visual, and audiovisual multisensory conditions. Analysis revealed that those with ADHD ( n = 10) respond faster than neurotypical controls ( n = 12) when presented with auditory, visual, and audiovisual multisensory conditions, while also having race model violation in early response latency quantiles. Adults with ADHD also had more prominent multisensory processing over parietal-occipital brain regions at early post-stimulus latencies, indicating that altered brain structure may have important outcomes for audiovisual multisensory processing. The present study is the first to assess how those with ADHD respond to multisensory conditions during a complex response time task, and demonstrates that adults with ADHD have unique multisensory processing when assessing both behavioral response time measures and neurological measures.
期刊介绍:
Multisensory Research is an interdisciplinary archival journal covering all aspects of multisensory processing including the control of action, cognition and attention. Research using any approach to increase our understanding of multisensory perceptual, behavioural, neural and computational mechanisms is encouraged. Empirical, neurophysiological, psychophysical, brain imaging, clinical, developmental, mathematical and computational analyses are welcome. Research will also be considered covering multisensory applications such as sensory substitution, crossmodal methods for delivering sensory information or multisensory approaches to robotics and engineering. Short communications and technical notes that draw attention to new developments will be included, as will reviews and commentaries on current issues. Special issues dealing with specific topics will be announced from time to time. Multisensory Research is a continuation of Seeing and Perceiving, and of Spatial Vision.
